Virtual Call: pattern matching scopes

[wanderview]

All, I'd like to do a video call to discuss my latest proposal for service worker pattern matching scopes:

#1468 (comment)

One major change is that URLPattern syntax is proposed to align with path-to-regexp.

I'd also like to discuss the service worker registration id issue as well since its related:

#1512

We could do this during the TPAC week (Oct 12 - 16?) or we could just have a meeting whenever its convenient for folks. I think the first step would be to get a sense of who is interested in attending. I'm hoping to at least get @jakearchibald @asutherland @youennf and @annevk. Also, FYI @blakeembrey as the author of path-to-regexp.

If you are interested in attending please post below with your timezone and any general calendar restrictions (holiday, etc). I'll then make a doodle with some proposed timeslots for folks to vote on.

Thanks!

I'm happy to attend. I can't do the 16th. Timezone: BST.

[annevk]

Same. Timezone: Berlin.

[asakusuma]

I'm interested in attending. Timezone is PST. September 18 and 25 are not ideal but could make it work.

[youennf]

Happy to join, CET timezone. Doodle sounds good.
Seems this could be discussed during TPAC service worker virtual meeting.

Seems this could be discussed during TPAC service worker virtual meeting.

While we could do it during TPAC week, I'd prefer to have an hour or so separate from other TPAC discussion. Scheduling as its own meeting seems easiest to me, but will defer if the group wants to create a giant meeting and then sub-schedule under that.

[asutherland]

I would like to attend, ET Timezone, I don't have any prior restraints on the doodle.

[jakearchibald]

My preference would be to have multiple smaller focused meetings. The scheduling is going to be bad for some, so it'd be good to spread that out a bit, and avoid keeping people awake hours past bedtime.

Could you invite me as an optional?
I'm in JP timezone (UTC+9). I'm fine to schedule the meeting without thinking of my timezone and I'll join it if I can.

[wanderview]

I'm going to put together the doodle tomorrow. Just FYI in case there are folks who are interested, but not posted yet.

[wanderview]

Here is the doodle poll. I thought we could try for the week before TPAC WG meetings to try to reduce scheduling conflicts.

Please let me know if you would like me to shift it later/earlier in the day. I tried to pick something that looked good for the timezones listed here.

[wanderview]

Based on previous posts, still looking for feedback on the doodle from: @jakearchibald @annevk @youennf @makotoshimazu

[wanderview]

I sent out a meeting invite for Friday Oct 9, 10am EDT.

[jakearchibald]

Works for me, sorry for not responding.

[wanderview]

No problem. I can look at your calendar. :-)

[makotoshimazu]

Sorry for bothering you. I think I can join, thanks!

[wanderview]

No bother at all. Sorry I missed that you hadn't responded to the doodle yet.

[wanderview]

FYI, I plan to use google meet for this video call. The link is in the calendar invite sent to folks already and I will post it in the top comment of this issue just before the meeting tomorrow.

[wanderview]

I've updated the top comment here with the meeting link, minutes doc, and slides.

[annevk]

Thanks again for taking this on @wanderview! It seems folks interested in next steps here can read on over at

• URLPattern WICG/proposals#9
• scope pattern matching #1468

as well as OP.

[wanderview]

Just to follow-up here I have filed the following issues based on the discussion:

• should URLPattern match a trailing "/" by default like path-to-regexp? whatwg/urlpattern#14
• make URLPattern and URLPatternList serializable/structured cloneable whatwg/urlpattern#15
• consider maximum scope size whatwg/urlpattern#18
• should we provide pattern matching against hostnames? whatwg/urlpattern#19
• consider making service worker scopes only use pathname matching whatwg/urlpattern#20
• pass patterns as strings to service worker API whatwg/urlpattern#21

Please let me know if I missed something.

Thank you everyone for participating and providing feedback. I'll be focusing on prototyping and spec'ing the pattern primitive next.
